Page 183 - They have long, kinky hair and thick lips, and some have hairy faces and bodies. The hair stands out over the head like a bush. They are small in stature, but well formed.

Page 105 - Kam-ol, three personal names; bulhul-6, butterfly; alam-am, a fern ; un-an, to go to see. The hiatus in question is like the one we make in English in such a word as tick-tack. It may be remarked finally that there are to be found in Nabaloi examples of that curious transposition of vowels within one word that is met with also in Ilocano and other native dialects.
